More about this scene
The village of High Legh probably gets its name because it was an early settlement in a forest clearing sitting on high land. The name was then taken by the two main families that owned land here – the Leghs and the Leighs. No longer a primary school, the building pictured has now been converted to serve as the local village hall.
